Description

Featuring breathtaking underwater footage, the film puts into perspective the global threat to coral reefs and tracks the effort to save them.

Director Jeff Orlowski won the 2017 Sundance Audience Award for his newest feature. He spent three years filming in over 30 countries with divers, underwater photographers and experts to reveal the majesty of our oceans, and the rapidly changing reality we're facing.

Hosted by the Australian Marine Conservation Society (AMCS) together with the Mackay Conservation Group (MCG), we're excited to bring you the first Mackay screening of this award-winning documentary.

Panel

Following the film, we'll be joined by a panel to discuss the implications of the global coral heatwave and how we can come together as a community to protect our precious Great Barrier Reef. Stay tuned for updates on our exciting speakers by checking out the Facebook event page.

Roadshow

Bringing together industry and community leaders, the Reef Roadshow starts in Cairns and heads south, stopping in Townsville (with North QLD Conservation Council), Airlie Beach, Mackay, Rockhampton and Brisbane. Each event features Chasing Coral and a Q&A session with an expert panel. The Great Barrier Reef Roadshow will provide all Queenslanders with an opportunity to step up and join the Fight For Our Reef Campaign.
